Comments:

The Packers and 49ers have clinched their respective
divisions. The Packers are one win or one Saints loss away from
clinching a first-round bye. However, as long as the 49ers keep
winning, the Packers will need to get to 15 wins to clinch the #1
seed, as the tie-breaker could easily go the 49ers way.

The Giants are not the first team to lead the Packers this
season, but they are the first team to retake the lead once the
Packers had it.

Joe Flacco only completed 10 passes on Sunday, but the Ravens
get by the Browns with a win anyway, thanks to nearly 300 rushing
yards by Ray Rice and Ricky Williams. The Ravens will need to
keep winning to stay on pace with the Steelers, who could very
easily win out their remaining schedule.

Was I wrong about how good the Dolphins are? They sure made
it look like the Raiders were the team struggling for answers on
Sunday. APR also has them in the top half of the rankings,
easily the highest ranked team with a losing record.

The Texans' win over the Falcons all but eliminates the Titans
from the race for the AFC South division crown. But the Titans
are currently a tie-breaker away from the 6th seed (along with the
Raiders and Jets), and so have a legitimate shot at a wildcard
berth. Of all the 7-5 teams in contention for that
spot, the
Jets remaining schedule looks to be the easiest, but it could
easily come down to the final games of the season.
